I Love A Clean San Diego is hoping to break records this weekend for the number of volunteers gathering to clean up litter at its eighth annual "Creek to Bay Cleanup."

About 3,500 volunteers have already committed for the clean-up program held each year around Earth Day. It is scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon today at more than 65 sites in North County, Central San Diego, South Bay and East County.

The organization estimates volunteers will remove nearly 200,000 pounds of trash at this year's event, as well as do storm drain stenciling, tree planting and other activities at selected locations.

Volunteers can show up at any of the sites and will receive commemorative reusable water bottles while supplies last.

Sites with the greatest need for volunteers include Chollas Creek at 47th Street, City Heights at Cooper Canyon, Manzanita Canyon and North Swan Canyon, Southcrest Community Park, San Ysidro Community Service Center, De Luz Creek, Lake Wohlford and Lemon Grove at San Miguel and Federal Boulevard.
